- Graphical boot screen
- =====================
-
- syslinux/isolinux support a graphical boot screen using VESA BIOS
- extensions. (Note that this is different from the graphics support that
- syslinux comes with).
-
- To use it you have to prepare a special boot logo file and put a line like
- this into syslinux.cfg/isolinux.cfg:
-
- gfxboot foo
-
- The tools to create 'foo' from the above example are in the gfxboot
- package. Please _do_ have a look at its documentation before you begin.
-
- Note that you cannot use comboot images and graphics at the same time as
- the memory used overlaps the comboot loading area.
-
- If you encouter problems with the graphics code, hold down SHIFT while
- syslinux starts. This will put it into 'failsafe' mode that lets you
- interactively skip critical parts (like monitor detection).
-
-
-
- Spread boot images over several floppy disks (syslinux)
- =======================================================
-
- You can prepare boot disks with a file system that spans several disks.
- The 'mkbootdisk' script from the openSUSE project can create a suitable
- file system.
-
- syslinux will ask you for disk changes if necessary. To enable this
- feature, use
-
- disksize <size_of_single_disk_in_sectors>
-
- Note that every individual disk must have at least a valid FAT boot
- sector. syslinux will use the serial number stored there to verify that
- the correct disk has been inserted (its last hex digit is the zero based
- disk number).
